Heartbreaks Will Happen More Than Once

Is my heart even whole anymore?

I feel like my heart hasn't been one in a while. Every time it shatters, I pick up all the pieces, but I guess the glue just isn't strong enough to hold it together. I don't know how many times one's heart can break until is permanently broken.

Too many people have told me long distance doesn't work, so when you asked, I shut you down quickly. I was scared of what could happen when we're 600 miles apart. Even though I am the one who said "we can't be together right now," I couldn't bear to hear the words that left your mouth. I would never expect you to wait for me, but I didn't know it could be that easy and fast for you to move on. You said you're "in love with me," yet it wasn't months or even weeks for you to be kissing someone else. It took 3 days. That's all. How can I trust someone who still says those three words, but shows different actions. Was what we had even real? The way you moved on. That was quick.

"Sometimes I start to wonder, was it just a lie? If what we had was real, how could you be fine?" (5 Seconds of Summer).

My playlist has been repeating the same songs for days now. It usually goes like this: High Hopes, Somebody to You, Amnesia, Happier, and the one that takes me home, the one you said you changed: The Reason.

The letters you wrote, the little stuff you did, the hope you gave me, all of it feels like it never happened anymore. I would say, "People don't change," but you would continue and say, "but they learn to improve." You would finish my sentences like you knew what was going inside of my mind. It was fun until you stopped and questioned what was actually going inside of my head, believing I wasn't thinking about you.

I guess it's time for me to let you go. However, you already left. I don't understand how you are fine.

"Cause I'm not fine at all."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
